I've done both spaced and tight. I do wrap them both tensioned on the Wire Gizmo. I use 28 & 29 guage and have coils from 1 to 1.3 ohms. I finally figured out I like the spaced better. Seems to produce better flavor.
I'm not dry burning. I wet burn. I saturate the wick/coil and burn a couple of times. I don't burn it dry, just fire and blow across the coil/wick. Rewet and repeat. That seems to get the wicking kick started. Then I put the top on the rda and it's ready to go with good flavor from the get go. Oh and I have added FB's step of running the smallest pin through the center of the wick after it's threaded through the coil.
